  • Goodreads of April 2022

    Those of you who have gone through the process of buying a house must be well aware of the time, energy, and effort required for it. We have been tremendously busy looking for a home for the past 2 months, so we didn’t get enough time to do anything else, be it traveling, blogging, or…

  • Goodreads of March 2022

    From the last two posts, it must be quite evident that we spent a long time outdoors last month. This time hikes were the highlight of our trip. I didn’t get as much chance to go through my books. I had downloaded some books on my Kindle app, so at least they were accessible to…

  • Goodreads of February 2022

    As described in our previous post, last month was a travel-busy month. I could manage to read only 2 books this time. The first one was recommended by Musings of a Book Savant, while the second one I chose from Kindle. The Travelling Cat Chronicles is a unique story about the journey, a cat named…

  • Goodreads of January 2022

    I have set up a goal of 50 books this year in Goodreads. Other than our Glamping at Kimberly Creek retreat, we pretty much stayed at home. I completed 3 books, first one popped up in my Kindle as part of Kindle’s First Read program, the second one was lent to me by my friend,…

  • Best of 2021 – Goodreads

    I had set a goal of 60 books for the year 2021 and conquered it by completing 80 books. Little unbelievable for me. This is by far my best performance in the last 5 years. I have never set a big goal like this before and I went 20 books above the goal, that was…

  • Goodreads of December 2021

    We pretty much did nothing in December, travel-wise. That was mainly because of tremendous office work, many of my colleagues resigned from their positions in favor of attractive offers and that put me on the hot seat. So besides the office work, I was able to invest some time in reading. I read a total…

  • Goodreads Of November 2021

    November month went too fast. We celebrated the birthday of my elder sister on our Colorado trip and sent our best birthday wishes to the younger one, living in Canada. Other than that we stayed pretty much at home. Winter is already at the doorstep, so no more hiking. I managed to read 4 books…

  • Goodreads Of October 2021

    Apart from celebrating my birthday, a road trip to New Jersey with halts in Ohio and Pennsylvania, Halloween night at a haunted house, I read four books in the month. I got the recommendation from my sister about 2008 Booker prize winner The White Tiger, a story about a poor Indian man Balram Halwai who…

  • Goodreads Of September 2021

    I won’t say, September was a busy month, but I could manage to read just 2 books. Quantity is not important, quality matters. This month my read list included Mexican Gothic – a Goodreads choice award winner for the Horror genre and I Am a Man – a non-fiction novel about the struggles of Native…

  • Goodreads Of August 2021

    Despite all of the busyness as I mentioned in the previous post, I still managed to read 5 books in August. I checked out 3 books from Omaha Public Library and downloaded 2 books in the Kindle app through my Prime account. Go the Fuck to Sleep is a graphic humorous short book focused on…
